About
Diploid hybrid Aurora is the one Super Styrian still enjoying global commercial availability. In fact, it is quite a celebrated hop and one of two distinct varieties prominently produced in Slovenia. Developed as a seedling of Northern Brewer, Aurora's aroma derives from its lovely balance of essential oils.
Origin
A cross between Northern Brewer and a TG seedling of unknown origin.
